Wests Tigers<\/a> are plunging further into crisis with chairman Lee Hagipantelis set to be ousted after knocking back an invitation from the club's majority shareholder to stand down from his post just days after being re-appointed, reports The Sydney Morning Herald<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tigers powerbrokers have also discussed the prospect of adding the likes of former NSW premier and ex-Tigers chairman Barry O'Farrell, as well as former Australian Olympic Committee<\/a> president John Coates, to the board, according to the SMH.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, the embattled club is the subject of an external governance and cultural review that's put both Hagipantelis and chief executive Justin Pascoe under greater scrutiny following the Tigers' 12th season in succession without involvement in the NRL<\/a> finals.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThe Tigers have had seven permanent NRL head coaches in the 12 seasons that have passed since the joint-venture club last played finals football in 2011, with Tim Sheens, Mick Potter, Jason Taylor, Ivan Cleary, Michael Maguire and Benji Marshall spending time in the job.<\/p>\n

\"Wests<\/p>\n

Sheens was sacked as head coach\ufeff following the 2012 season, but he returned to the club as director of football performance in July 2021.<\/p>\n

He was then key to the axing of Maguire almost 12 months later<\/a>, before the Tigers revealed a succession plan involving Sheens and club legend Benji Marshall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was announced that Sheens would be head coach in 2023 and 2024, and Marshall would replace the veteran mentor in 2025.<\/p>\n

But that plan took a twist when it was revealed in August that Sheens was ending his tenure and Marshall would take up the job early<\/a>.<\/p>\n
